Icarus - Lyrics - Captain Beyond
The original line-up for Captain Beyond were singer Rod Evans , drummer Bobby Caldwell , guitarist Larry "Rhino" Reinhardt , bassist Lee Dorman and keyboardist Lewie Gold. Gold left due to personal reasons before the first album was recorded. The remaining line-up recorded the self-titled debut album, released in 1972. Following this album Caldwell left the band to join Derringer and was replaced by drummer Brian Glascock. Also joining the band around this time were Reese Wynans on keyboards and Guille Garcia on congas. The record company's chosen producer, Giorgio Gomelsky, did not like Glascock's drumming and requested a new drummer. Glascock was released and Marty Rodriguez was brought in on drums on the recommendation of Garcia. This six man lineup recorded the group's second album, Sufficiently Breathless. Tension during the recording led to Evans quitting. The original lineup reformed later in 1973 for a US tour but the band split up at the end of the year, with Rod Evans retiring from the music business completely.

Temperature is rising
High above the moon
At the speed I'm flying
I have to get there soon
I guess I'm losing contact
With tangible things
And now my head is blown-out
I've got to beat this thing.
Yeah, you're a child of the sun
All of your world is tumblin'
Down around your heels
You got to catch Mother Nature
Catch Mother Nature
Catch Mother Nature on the run, baby
Yeah, you're a child of the sun.
Flying through the air like Icarus
On the golden-feathered wings
Soaring high against the fire
Son, don't burn away.
Yeah, you're a child of the sun, baby
All of your world is tumblin'
Down around your heels
You got to catch Mother Nature
Catch Mother Nature
Catch Mother Nature on the run, baby
Yeah, you're a child of the sun.
Flying through the air like Icarus
On the golden-feathered wings
Soaring high against the fire
Son, don't burn away.
